Further to the grant from the Fisheries "FLAG" group. Work has commenced on laying track-way to the pontoon surface, complete with ramps, to allow access to the pontoon, on one leg only. Work will be completed by Friday May 15th .

After completing the annual sand clearance from the front of the Patch Pontoon, leaving a clear channel for boat users.We are faced with the return of commercial fishermen, tipping bongo's of crab waste into the clear water. This action is against the Law as laid down by the fisheries Agency, and also a Health Hazard to our Visitors ,and boat users.ATFL are very concerned with this inappropriate action. In consequence ATFL are prepared to offer a Reward for the successful discovery (with evidence "Photo") of the culprit or culprits responsible for these actions.

July 2015WARNING ALL POTENTIAL SKIPPERS TO BE AWARE THAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING FREQUENT SAND SHIFT AT THE GLAN TEIFI BEND . IT HAS BECOME HAZARDOUS TO NAVIGATIONAll skippers are advised to check the area visually to ascertain the channels position and navigate accordingly . The A T F L will monitor the situation on a daily basis and reposition the safe water markers as necessary , but as it has been necessary to reposition the buoyage 4 times in the last 4 weeks it is hard to keep on top .

October 2013Please note that the Navigation Buoys will shortly be removed for maintenance. A minimal number will be left at vital turning points, but personal observation will be required

October 2013Please note that the Navigation Buoys will shortly be removed for maintenance. A minimal number will be left at vital turning points, but personal observation will be required.

Notice to Mariners 29.11.12Due to adverse conditions in the River and its present state of spate, all navigation buoys will be removed within the next 10 days and will not be reinstated until early spring.

Those wishing to navigate the river must do so using transit marks and their own observations

Important Notice to Mariners

Glan Teifi Channel Markings - August 2012Concerns have been expressed over the channel markings in this area. Due to the continual movement of the sand it is proving difficult to maintain accurate buoyage. Matters are in hand to improve the situation, but in the meantime please proceed with care and take local knowledge if possible.

...................................................................................As from the 18th May 2010 be advised that the river is now marked with the conformative mid channel fairway markers and are numbered (1) to (12 ) leading from the seaward end .There are mid channel markers guiding skippers through the back channel from Pawl Sarma through to the Glan Teifi as of now they are not identified but in the near future they will be identified with the letters (A) through to ( F) .

it appears that the back channel is now the most navigable as the old channel is closing off below the Glan Teifi and at Pawl Sarma , but the sand is forever on the move and it will be nessesary to update this information on a more regular basis .

It is advisable to take note of the situation visually to familiarise oneself of the navigation procedure at this location.

It is not possible to predict what the long term effect will be on the geography of the area and a close watch will be kept on it's development for the foreseeable future.

Information will be updated as and when it is deemed necessary.

UPDATE AS OF 24TH AUGUST 2009 we can now inform you that the shelf has been removed from the spit at Pen yr Ergyd but strongly advise that skippers will need to give the spit a wide berth untill the ground thereabouts settles to it's new geological shape and size,There is also a very strong current on the Ebb and Flow and low powered craft may find difficulty in maintaining navigable way at certain states of the tide, Even the higher powered vessles will need to be aware of this as the current can send a vessel off coarse

We wish to bring to your attention certain changes in our procedures.

1) There is now an order in force that limits the use of the patch pontoon to leaving a vessel on the pontoon to one tide only and there is a hefty fine for those who ignore this order please read the sign on the pontoon , there are no exceptions . If a vessel needs to be berthed then one should contact the Navigation officer and make the nessesary arrangements to berth alongside the sticks or go onto a spare mooring.

2) The Somerfield slipway now comes under the juristrction of the A.T.F.L and as such has been designated a drying out dock . therefore no vessels are to be moored in that area without the resident mooring masters permission, if he is not availiable then you must contact an officer of the A.T.F.L , there will be a fine issued to any person contraveneing this directive .

3) All users of the river from 2010 will be required to display a current sticker in or on their craft .if you are a mooring holder then this sticker will be issued to you on recipt of your 2010 remitance along with your relevent receipt . and regular checks on the validity of that sticker will be checked out by a mooring master or the patrol boat , none mooring holders will be required to pay a daily or weekly tarriff for thier individual use of the river , the will be collected by the mooring masters , the Navigation Officer or an official of the A.T.F.L , and a reciept will be issued .

All licence holders will be required to retain thier sticker and a new year dated slip will be issued to attach to the existing sticker .
